Well it seems like my page is now non existent due to Photobucket now charging for 3rd party hosting.. such a shame as the site just got back up and running.. anyone else lost their images off their pages and left with just an advert for each picture refering to photobuckets new plan?

Yes David! VERY annoyed when I discovered nearly all my props had vanished!

I'm going to transfer all images onto my own web page, but it'll take a while, so I've bitten the bullet and paid the ridiculous $399.00, just this once. As I'm a pro snapper, I can put it against UK income tax, which helps.

But they won't get any further payments. They've put the price FAR too high. They're going to loose many thousands of members.

The saga continues.

Despite me paying out the $400, Photo**cket managed to erase five images from my library, thus leaving my collection page with five blank advert squares for PB, instead of the pics of my Sonic and Varos neck-piece.

Just re-uploaded the pics, put in new links and all working....for now.

Grrrrr.

Many thanks Alex.

That's an interesting site, and good option for many on here.

David's noticed his Photobucket-hosted pics have re-appeared.

Anyone else seen their pics come back to their collector page?

I've just cancelled my £300 subscription. The company appears to be under new management, and have realised their fees were mad.

They've introduced some low-fee entry levels, which I'll probably buy. They all allow third-party hosting.

I tried doing some of mine via Flickr, but could NOT get the link to work. Obviously something I'm doing wrong.
